11. To summarize…
• The growing importance of HR Analytics can be attributed to the
need to cut costs and increase financial accountability in the slowing
economy, heightened organizational emphasis on the need for HR
metrics, and the emerging role of HR as a provider of strategic
business i t lli
b i intelligence.
• HR faces high demand from CEOs and senior business managers
for analytics that capture the impact of HR activities on business
performance. HR places equally hi h i
f l ll high importance on th
t these t
types of
f
measures, but only a small minority of organizations have ROI or
impact-related HR metrics in place.
• HR Analytics is a top priority th t is lik l t continue t grow i

importance. Organizations will increase investments in HR metrics

12. To summarize…
• HR must develop two new capabilities in order to ensure the
creation and adoption of cutting-edge d i i
ti d d ti f tti d decision-support tools:
tt l
– Product innovation (along the lines of a software development firm) that
includes technology scanning, prototype testing with the line and
continuous improvement of HR tools
tools.
– “Seamless” delivery of best-in-breed applications to line managers,
probably through Web-enabled direct access to Human Resources
Management Systems (
g y (HRMSs). )
• Fortunately, solutions to the twin goals of dis-intermediating HR and
p
providing leading-edge management support tools directly to
g g g g pp y
managers often are the same. The same technology serves both
ends.
